    got my first 5-string today, an Ibanez SRMS805, still getting used to the extra fretboard width and fanned frets, sounds great though.

                  They sound good, idk how to describe bass pickups like I do guitar, but I'd say lots of low end, but still punchy and clear like a p-bass

                    Imagine tuning down a whole step.

                      looks sweet. i was always surprised how easy it was to get used to the fanned frets

                        Me too..I thought fanned frets would be really weird, but they aren't at all. It think they sound great on a 5 or 6 string bass. Not really worth it on a 6 or 7 string guitar, though.

                          Awesome score! I like what I've heard of the Bartolini + Ibanez combo, great smooth and full sound

                          Enjoy those fanned frets too

                            Interested in getting a multi-scale myself but wanna really put one though the paces first. No hurry,though. I have a Spector that sounds phenominal and a multiscale would have to be life changing to make me spend any kind of real cash on another 5 string. That one you have there would definitely earn a test run if I saw it in the bass place.

                              Anyone ever played a multi-scale guitar? How is the tension on the high strings, are they really loose for those used to playing 11s?
